"Where were you Randhir?" Sanyukta asked him as soon as he came back
Randhir looked at her intently.
"Kaha chale gaye the tum?" She asked again
"Sara ke school gaya tha" Randhir replied
"School?" "But why?" She asked
"I met her bestie Ananya.." "She told me that Sara's behaviour got changed since last few days"
"Kisise baat nahi karti thi woh school main" "Na khelti thi"
"She was inattentive in class" "Homework karna...drawing karna...sab chod diya tha usne"
"Then she told me...last week...Sara pee in uniform in front of whole class" '"Usse iss baat ka bhi khayal nahi raha Sanyukta..." "But after that what Ananya told me...is..."
"What did Ananya say Randhir?" "Bolo please..." Sanyukta asked
"Sanyukta...she said...the attendant took Sara to washroom to change her clothes"
"After that when Sara came back to class room..that time...Sara told Ananya...that something is paining her there" "Ananya told this to teacher and...Sara was sent back home"
"My doubt is confirmed...its that lady attendant who...did..." Randhir stopped in the middle
"Sara is too small to understand this Randhir..." "Usse toh pata bhi nahi chala hoga..." "But...why didnt she tell me?" "Usse pain horaha tha...yeh usne muje bataya kyu nahi?" "Why didn't she tell me Randhir about this?" "Usse batana chaiye tha...that someone...was..." Sanyukta sat down on her knees.
"Sanyukta...she don't know what is "child abuse" ?" "Usse pata bhi nahi hoga ki woh aurat uske saath kya kar rahi thi" "The worst part is...Sara didn't tell us...and I feel like killing myself" Randhir said
"I am very bad mother, Randhir" "I failed as a mother" "Meri baachi...dard main thi aur muje pata hi nahi chala" "She didnt felt to share it with me, Randhir" "Itna dur ja chuki hu main usse..." "Sara don't trust me as mother, Randhir..." "She doesn't trust us..." Sanyukta cried
Randhir sat beside her.
"I am not a good mother" She mumbled
Randhir took her into his arms. They both cried.

"Doctor...how much more time now" "When will Sara regain her senses" Randhir asked the doctor
"Soon Mr Shekhawat" "Very soon...she is out of danger" "Just that she is just 5 years old so will take time to regain senses and recovery" Doctor said
"Hmmm..."
"What did doctor say Randhir?" Sanyukta asked
"She is out of danger but thoda wait karna padega" "Sara will soon regain her senses" Randhir said
"How much more time to wait Randhir?" "I want my Sara back" Sanyukta shouted
"Please calm down Sanyukta...please" Randhir held her shoulders
"Randhir I am telling you...this doctors are not good" "Sara ko jaldi thik kyu nahi kar rahe yeh log" "Lets take her home with us...I dont trust this doctors" "Meri baachi ko thik nahi kar sakte yeh log..." "Randhir please do something" "Do something" "Tum aaisa kaise kar sakte ho...tumhe kuch nahi hota kya..." "Sara ko le aao mere paas" "Main kuch nahi janti....I want her..." Sanyukta held his collars in her fist.
Her eyes were filled with tears. Randhir felt the pain in his heart.
"Sara..." "Randhir...I dont know anything...muje Sara chaiye..." "Sara..." Sanyukta collapsed in his arms
"Doctor...." Randhir called for help
- - - - - -
"Stress" "Nothing else..." "Let her take some rest she will be fine soon" doctor said after examining Sanyukta
"Hmmm...." Randhir replied
"Dad...aap ghar jao" "I am here" "You need rest" Randhir said
"No Randhir..." "I don't want to go home" "I will be here with you" Harsh said
"Dad...but"
"How are you going to manage alone Randhir?" "Ek taraf Sara ...ek taraf Sanyukta" Harsh said
Randhir couldn't stop his tears. Harsh went ahead and hug his son.
"Bas..." "Bas Randhir...." Harsh was consoling Randhir
"Dad...I love them" "I can't leave without Sanyukta and Sara" He murmurred in between his sobs
"Everything will be fine Randhir" Harsh said
"Dad I ruined everything" "You made us understand so many times but...'" "Meri wajah se Sara..." "My daughter is fighting for her life...and I am helpless" "I am not able to do anything to save her Dad" "I am worst..." "I am worst father..." Randhir said
"No Randhir...its not like that" "That's why I was warning you and Sanyukta many times" Harsh said
"Come sit here..." Harsh made Randhir sit on bench
"I have been through this son" "And trust me..this is worst" "Jab bhi Sara ko suffer karte hue dekhta toh lagta tha ki bachpan main tumne bhi aaise hi suffer kiya hoga" "Par muje aur Renuka ko pata hi nahi chala..."
"We were so blinded and selfish that...we lost everything" "Our ego,anger everything destroyed our little family"
"Neither Renuka and I were a good couple nor good parents and I am still living in guilt because of that"
"Renuka left us...but during her last days...I was with her"
"Her guilt killed her more than her cancer"
"But she was very happy you know why...cause she knew...Sanyukta and you..you both will have an ideal and happy family" "She trusted Sanyukta....because she came from a good, happy and united family unlike us"
"You know what she told me..."
"She said...now I can die in peace Harsh...because I trust my son Randhir and my daughter - in - law Sanyukta"
"Our next generation will be happy unlike us"
"She was proud of you and Sanyukta"
"Randhir...you have experienced it"
"Jab main aur Renuka tumhe time nahi dete the...tumhare samne fight karte the...tum pe kya guzarti thi"
"Sara ke saath bhi wahi ho raha tha...aur muje ehsaas horaha tha ki humari wajah se tumne kitna suffer kiya hai life main..."
"That's why I was telling you and Sanyukta to resolve issues between you two..."
"Once the time is gone...its very difficult to mend the things"
"It very tough to get back family...the happy family"
"Renuka and I did the same mistake Randhir....may be because we didn't had anyone to make us understand this things"
"We both ruined everything..."
"I don't want you to repeat same mistake Randhir"
"Save this small family of ours..."
"Sara is an innocent child...and she is small...if you and Sanyukta work together...you both can win her back"
"Only you both can make Shekhawat family happy again"
Harsh said
Randhir nodded in agreement.
